Quinno _ left this review about Winckley Street Ale House
Purposefully murky cask ale choices plus a dark (Kernel!) – good quality though, NBSS 4 and 3.5. Review as previous otherwise. 7.5
May 2022
Small, modern L shaped shop-conversion bar aimed at the Preston hipster(s), exposed brick and spray paintings on the walls, bench seating etc. Three samey cask over four pumps (the spare was being used as a blue roll dispenser!), my Mobberley Cheshire Pale was in good nick (NBSS 3.5) and surprisingly cheap at 3 quid for a pint. Also a selection of craft and bottles, unexplored by me. Shame it's not still called the Otter's Pocket, I wanted a pic of myself outside with the sign for a Viz tick. Anyway, this is worth its place on the crawl list. GBG ’22 listed. Rated 7

Small shop like conversion with a square room to the front and a narrow area with booth seating to the rear. The counter is between the two areas, with four pulls and ten keg taps. Plain decor apart from some shelves of interesting stuff such as cameras, typewriters and mincers. Beers from a range of small breweries I’ve never heard of or drunk before, bar four and that includes Guinness plus Broadoak cider. Odd but nice.

Four cask micro-ish or perhaps more of a small bar. Craft keg also available. Decent amount of indoor seating for the size of the place, with some additional pavement seating to the front of the premises. My Staggeringly Good Stop, Drop & Roll on cask was enjoyable and slipped down nicely.
